Watchdog Group Destroys GOP Conspiracy Theories By Giving Clinton Foundation High Marks [View all]

to be fair, Trump's charitable donations are--oh, wait. we don't know, because he refuses to release his tax returns.

Republicans, with the help of the media, have spent the last month painting the Clinton Foundation as a criminal – even evil – organization the serves no purpose other than to benefit the Clinton family.

“It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history,” Donald Trump recently said. “What they were doing during Crooked Hillary’s time as Secretary of State was wrong then, and it is wrong now. It must be shut down immediately.”

This isn’t just shameless political posturing by Trump, but it’s a flat out lie.

A report published on Thursday by Charity Navigator gives the Clinton Foundation some of the highest possible ratings on both the charity’s finances and its transparency. They give the foundation four out of four stars and a score of 94.75 out of a possible 100.
